Definitions
- switching power supplies switching converters
- switching converters are used to efficiently transform to voltage and currents at on level to voltage and current of a different level.
- Switching converters are particularly important when either high power or battery operation require high efficiency. Switching converters are pervasive throughout many consumer products they are in almost every ball everyday items such as cell phones PDAs personal computers extra.
- a key feature of the switching power supplies is its small size and low cost, which is achieved through efficient design.
- Switching converters are used to convert an input DC voltage to an output DC voltage. Such converters may step down (buck) or step up (boost) the input DC voltage (buck-boost converters are also possible).
- Pulse Width Modulation Conventional power supplies use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modulation to control the power devices used in converters.
- PWM Pulse Width Modulation
- One type of switching converter is a synchronous buck converter. This converter typically has a controller, driver, a pair of switches, and an LC filter coupled to the pair of switches.
- the controller provides a control signal to the driver which then drives the pair of switches, e.g., a high side switch and a low side switch.
- the driver alternately turns each switch ON and OFF thereby controlling inductor current and the output voltage of the DC to DC converter.
- Such controllers typically utilize a pulse width modulated signal to control the state of the high and low side switches.
- One of the ways to improve the size and cost of switching converters is to optimize the size of the external passive components. This is achieved by optimizing both the switching frequency and control loop.
- a typical voltage mode controller shown in Fig. 1 , consists of a fixed compensator controlling the pulse width modulator.
- the input to the fixed compensator is an error signal that is the difference between the desired reference voltage and the output voltage.
- the typical form of the fixed compensator with a PID controller (proportional derivatives and integral control). This type of control allows for relatively fast performance, provided the converter stays in either discontinuous conduction or continuous conduction. If both action modes are possible the compensator bandwidth has to be lowered to ensure a stable compensation. Because the duty cycle to output voltage transfer function is different between continuous conduction and discontinuous conduction.
- Fig, 2 One solution to this problem, shown in Fig, 2 , is to add an inner high speed current feedback loop. This is similar to rate control for servo mechanisms.
- the inner current loop linearizes the control of the inductor current.
- the current command to output voltage is the same, independent of conduction mode so the compensator can be the same for both operating modes.
- the inner current loop has limited control authority, and as such, has rate saturation in the inner part of the loop. This is caused by the finite power supplies that can be applied to inductor. This rate saturation causes loop and instability for high bandwidth. Thus, the current mode controller must have a lower bandwidth in order to be stable particularly at high and low duty cycles. Thus, in some conventional methods, the response of the system to disturbances or other changes can be slower than is desirable.
- the notion of the N-step model is introduced to capture the hybrid nature of these systems, and an optimal control problem is formulated, which allows one to easily incorporate in the controller design safety constraints such as current limiting.
- the optimal control problem is solved offline resulting in the explicit state-feedback controller that can be stored in a look-up table and used for the practical implementation of the control scheme. Simulation results are provided that demonstrate the prospect of this approach.
- United States Patent specification nos US-A-2004/095111 and US-A-2004/095113 each discloses a control system and method for simultaneously regulating the operation of a plurality of different types of switching power converters.
- the system utilizes in regulating the power converters sampled data and nonlinear feedback control loops.
- United States Patent specification no US-A-6 687 235 discloses a non-linear echo cancellation scheme for a digital transceiver coupled to a wireline medium effectively mitigates against non-linear line perturbations that may cause disruption of digital communication services.
- One embodiment employs a fast, linear echo canceler, and a truncated non-linear Volterra canceler coupled to an error cancellation location in the data signal flow path downstream of the data pump's linear equalizer.
- Another embodiment employs only a nonlinear Volterra echo canceler, the output of which is coupled to an error cancellation location in the data signal flow path upstream of the data pump's linear equalizer.
- the controller of these teachings includes a nonlinear controller component capable of providing a switch state to a switch driver, the switch state corresponding at least one predetermining switching power supply state variable
- the nonlinear controller component is operatively connected to receive as inputs at least one predetermined switching power supply state variable A relationship between switch states and at least one predetermined switching power supply state variable is obtained by a predetermined method.
- controller of these teachings including embodiments in which at least some of the internal states of the switching power supply are estimated.
- Embodiments of the controller switching power supply of these teachings are also disclosed.
- the controller of these teachings includes a nonlinear controller component capable of providing a switch state to a switch driver, the switch state corresponding at least one predetermining switching power supply state variable
- the nonlinear controller component is operatively connected to receive as inputs at least one predetermined switching power supply state variable.
- a relationship between switch states and at least one predetermined switching power supply state variable is obtained by a predetermined method.
- the predetermined method includes optimizing a predetermined function of the switch states and internal states.
- One embodiment of these teachings uses of a static nonlinear controller that computes the optimum switching surface for controlling the switches in a switching power supply (a DC-to-DC converter in one instance), based on the state of the regulator and its load current.
- the optimization function used to define the nonlinear controller in this embodiment can be based on dynamic programming, model predictive control or almost any other optimization technique.
- the nonlinear optimization function is a fixed function; given the system parameters, supply voltage, switch states, and internal states.
- the internal states are the capacitor voltage and inductor current.
- dynamic programming by setting up a predetermined penalty function, dynamic programming (see, for example, L. Pun, Introduction to Optimization Practice, ISBN 471-70233-1, pp. 173-194 and De Russo, Roy, Close, State Variables for Engineers, John Wiley and Sons, new York, N.Y., 1965, pp.575-577 ) determines the best possible trajectory to minimize, for example, power consumption, consistent with the constraints. With a large load transient, the dynamic programming algorithm can determine the best possible trajectory to maintain regulation.
- Dynamic programming is possible in the instance of large load transient because of the small number of possible inputs (i.e. the switch states), the short time horizon that the converter operates over, and the low degree of complexity of the plant (i.e. second order).
- operation of the controller consists of repeated application of changes in switch state to maintain desired voltage margined output voltage as well as optimizing efficiency. At light load currents this involves "tri-state”-ing the switches to minimize negative inductor current.
- One constraint would be to limit the maximum inductor current. This is done by changing the switch state when the inductor current exceeds the maximum positive (or negative) value, then reapplying the original switch state after some period of time. The time interval is chosen to trade off maximum average inductor current and switching losses.
- the constraint of low audible voice is achieved by requiring a switch after a long time has occurred since the last switching event.
- the frequency of the switching events is thus constrained to be above, say, 20 kHz.
- the above constraints are exemplary; other constraints are within the scope of these teachings.
- Substantially efficient light load operation occurs by switching between charging, discharging, and tri-state. Such switching keeps the inductor current from going negative, as in the discontinuous conduction mode.
- the nonlinear switching function can be implemented by a fixed lookup table, a DSP, or other analog or digital hardware.
- a digital approach the sampling time needs to be fast enough such that the dynamics of the regulator to not change much between sampling instances.
- One exemplary analog embodiment includes a piece wise linear approximation using comparators.
- One exemplary digital embodiment includes the use of a read only memory that would compute the correctness which state based on the inputs.
- Another exemplary digital embodiment includes a DSP or digital signal processor that computes the required switch states based on algebraic solutions of the equations.
- the exemplary embodiment uses a buck converter topology.
- the methods of these teachings are applicable to any generic converter of buck, boost, or buck-boost, forward, fly-back, SEPIC, cuk, etc type.
- many switch states are possible.
- the switch states are buck, boost, buck-boost, short across the inductor, and open.
- the switch states are charging, discharging, and tri-state.
- FIG. 3a A block diagram depicting the general form of the nonlinear controller is shown in Figs. 3a-3d . It should be noted that the controller can be used for any generic power supply.
- a nonlinear controller 20 provides switch states 45 to a switch driver 30.
- the nonlinear controller 20 receives as inputs the output from a switching power supply 25 and a number of switching power supply internal state variables, for example, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3a , the voltage at the inputs to the circuit including the two or more reactive components 65, Vsw, the current through the inductor 60, the load current 55 and the output voltage 50.
- FIG. 3b depicts the embodiment in which the nonlinear controller is implemented as a memory 22 (a ROM in the instance shown).
- the memory is used to implement a lookup table (a data structure stored said memory, the data structure including a number of switch states, each switch state having one or more corresponding predetermined switching power supply state variables; said each switch state, when provided to the switch driver of the switching power supply at the corresponding predetermined times, enables obtaining a predetermined switching power supply output.
- Figure 3c depicts the embodiment in which the nonlinear controller is implemented as one or more processors 27 and one or more computer usable media 32 having computer readable code embodied therein that causes the processors 27 to obtain a sequence of switch states as described herein above.
- the processor 27, the one or more computer usable media 32 and the inputs are operatively connected by means of an interconnection component (such as a computer bus).
- an interconnection component such as a computer bus.
- the one or more processors 27 and the one or more computer usable media 32 are part of a DSP.
- Figure 3d depicts the embodiment which the nonlinear controller is implemented as a piece wise linear approximation using a non-linear analog circuit 47 and a comparator 49 to control the switch state.
- Multiple outputs from the non-linear analog circuit combined with multiple comparators can be used in a similar way to implement more than two switch states. For example, switch open or Tri-state can be achieved.
- Many methods of implementing non-linear analog circuits see, for example, Danial H. Sheingold, Nonlinear Circuit Handbook, published by Analog Devices, Inc. Norwood Massachusetts, chapter 2 and, Dualibe, Carlos, Verleysen, M., Jespers, P, Design of Analog Fuzzy Logic Controllers in CMOS Technologies Implementation, Test and Application, ISBN-10: 1-4020-7359-3 ).
- Fig. 4 shows a generic switching curve used by an embodiment of the nonlinear controller.
- the curve can either be calculated from analytical expressions or derived numerically.
- the numerical technique is discrete dynamic programming. With this technique, the derivation starts at the final desired state and works successively backwards in time, enumerating all possible switch states at each time instance. At each time step, a cost function is used to evaluate the quality of all choices of switch state up to that point in time. This is continued back in time until a complete plane has been generated for all possible system states. This plane is then used to program a nonlinear controller. If this becomes numerically intractable several other techniques exist.
- model predictive control the controller starts at its current location and figures out the optimum trajectory up to some future time (see, for example, Mayne, D.Q.; Michalska, H, Adaptive receding horizon control for constrained nonlinear systems, Proceedings of the 32nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 1993, Date: 15-17 Dec 1993, Pages: 1286 - 1291 vol.2 ). Using that trajectory, the system state at the next time step is computed, and the process repeated for every time step until the final time is reached.
- the switching surface is graphically displayed in the phase-plane with inductor current on the vertical axis and capacitor voltage on the horizontal axis.
- the upper and lower Vc limits show the range of acceptable capacitor voltages.
- the maximum and minimum inductor current limits are also shown.
- a common technique used in all modem power supplies is voltage margining; this is a load line that relates the optimum voltage to the static load current. At high load currents, a transient will only lower the load current, thus the output voltage will only go up. As a result the capacitor voltage should be kept near the lower limit. Likewise the converse is true.
- the embodiment of the switching curve of these teachings is used as follows.
- the future load current is predicted or estimated, and the inductor current required to achieve that load current is calculated based on steady-state volt-second balance, the optimum voltage on the load line is thus determined This is the target future state.
- the switching curve is used to compute backwards in time from that state for all possible inputs the best way to get from a present location in the state space to the target future state location.
- the optimum target voltage is determined by the load current. This is referred to as voltage margining.
- voltage margining When the load current is low the output voltage should not be near its upper limit because the load pull only cause it to go down and when the load current is at maximum the output voltage should be at a lower limit because the load current can only go up. This improves the error due to a transient load event.
- Typical voltage marching curve is a straight line that connects the upper voltage limit at zero load current to the lower voltage limit at maximum of load current.
- Figure 5 shows the start up transient. Initially the inductor is switched to charge until the upper current limit is met. The inductor is then switched between discharge and charge, achieving a hysteretic control along the maximum current limit. This is similar to a sliding mode control scheme, where the sliding surface is the maximum inductor current. Inductor current is kept at this high level until the last possible moment in time. When the switching surface commands a change to discharge, the regulator gracefully transitions to the optimal state space target.
- Figure 6 shows an example of a large negative current step.
- the switch is controlled by the switching surface to discharge and then back to charge again in a way that moves the capacitor voltage in the shortest time.
- FIG. 7 shows a positive load step. This is substantially the converse of the previous diagram. Again the switches are controlled from charging to discharging to move the capacitor voltage in the minimum amount of time.
- Figure 8 shows an example of a stable orbit for a constant large load current. The switches periodically go from charging to discharging, keeping the voltage and current variations contained within a small region
- Figure 9 shows an example of a stable orbit for a light load. Note the switches go from charging to discharging to tri-state. Tri-state keeps the inductor current from going negative, improving the efficiency.
- the capacitor voltage and inductor current can be obtained by direct measurements.
- the capacitor voltage and inductor: current can be a pain by means of an estimator.
- the proposed state estimator is designed (by traditional techniques, such as, but not limited, least squares estimators, Bayesian estimators or by the techniques described in US patent application serial number 11/553,917 with augmented states to estimate load current as well.
- An embodiment of the system of these teachings including a state estimator 120 is shown in Figure 10
- the (adaptive in one embodiment) plant estimator component 120 utilizes the LMS algorithm in order to provide an estimate of the state variables of the Switching power supply 25.
- the (adaptive) plant estimator component 120 utilizes and RLS algorithm (for a description of the RLS algotithm, see, for example, S. Haykin, Introduction to Adaptive Filters, ISBN 0-02-949460-5, pp.139-143 ).
- the controller of these teachings includes a sampling component capable of sampling an output signal from a system and an input signals from the system at a first sampling rate, the first sampling rate being at least equal to a predetermined operating rate, an input parameter obtaining component capable of receiving the output signal and the input signal sampled at the first sampling rate and of obtaining values for a plurality of input parameters, the values for the input parameters being sampled at the first sampling rate, a decimator component capable of receiving the values for the input parameters sampled at the first sampling rate and of providing subsampled values for the input parameters, subsampled values being sampled at a second sampling rate, the second sampling rate been slower than the first sampling rate, an adaptive plant estimator component capable of receiving the subsampled values of the input parameters and of obtaining a model of the system, the model reflecting variations in the system.
- the method of these teachings includes sampling an output signal from a system and an input signal from the system, obtaining, from the sampled output signal and the sampled input signal, values for a predetermined finite number of rows and columns from an inverse matrix and a predetermined finite number for a row vector in a least-squares solution, and obtaining, from the values for the predetermined finite number of rows and columns from an inverse matrix and the predetermined finite number for a row vector in a least-squares solution, a model for the system.
- an adaptive control method can be implemented.
- model parameters could be estimated, by a model parameter estimator 125, along with the state and load current estimator120.
- parameters of the system 25 vary slowly. Therefore it is possible to make the parameter updates a slower, offline computation.
- an analog-to-digital converter measures the output and input (and intermediate in some embodiments) voltages in the power supply 25.
- the ADC results are also used by auto- and cross-correlators to measure the behavior of the power supply 25.
- the parameter computation are done offline at a lower sampling rate. This lowers the cost of those tasks, because the digital logic can be in the form of a simple micro-sequencer.
- the controller of these teachings also includes a load current estimating component 120.
- the load current estimating component is capable of receiving the output signal sampled at the first sampling rate and state estimation data from the (adaptive) plant estimator component and of providing estimated load current data at a first sampling rate and another decimator component capable of receiving the estimated load current data at the first sampling rate and of providing estimated load current data at the predetermined operating rate to the non-linear controller 20.
- the ADC is an oversampling ADC, a Delta Sigma ADC in one embodiment, including a an oversampling modulator, delta-sigma modulator in the above embodiment, and a decimation filter.
- the oversampling modulator converts the analog input voltage into a high-speed, digital bit stream.
- the digital bit stream may be as little as one bit wide. Because the digital bit stream is sampled at a very high rate, it is possible to low-pass filter the bit stream and to recover a high-precision, lower-sample-rate representation of the analog signal.
- the sampling component is a oversampling (sigma delta in one embodiment) modulator and the first sampling rate is an oversampled rate.
- the input parameter obtaining component is an autocorrelation and crosscorrelation estimator. It should be noted that other embodiments of the input parameter obtaining component are possible and within the scope of these teachings. It should also be noted that embodiments are possible in which the oversampling (sigma delta in one embodiment) modulator provides inputs to the state estimator and the load estimator.
- the decimation filter (decimator) function can be built-in. This reduces the cost because a one-bit multiplier is just a single gate, while a high-precision digital multiplier can be a costly design.
- the embodiments shown above have not been explicitly adaptive, adaptive embodiments of the non-linear controller are possible and within the scope of these teachings.
- the cost function can be adapted to the identified states and the nonlinear controller can be an adaptive nonlinear controller.
- the memory use is not a ROM but instead a RAM, which is altered by an adaptive component.
- the future load is predicted from the trends in the past load current by means of a load current predictor 130.
- This type of prediction can be done, in one instance, by a FIR or finite impulse response filter and, in another instance, by an infinite impulse response filter (or IIR filter).
- the filter coefficients could be determined, in one instance, by an LMS like algorithm and, in another instance, by an RLS like algorithm. It should be noted that these teachings are not limited to only those two algorithms. Other algorithms, such as, but not limited to, neural networks, can also be used for prediction. (See, for example, S. Haykin, Intruduction to Adaptive Filters, ISBN 0-02-949460-5, pp.41-89 .)
- the load current predictor is a nonlinear look up table
- CMAC cerrebular model articulation controller
- Figure 14 shows a startup trajectory in the phase plane. Hysteretic current limit and stable orbits can be seen along with limited minimum inductor current.
- Figures 15 , 16 show the Mathworks Simulink model used for the simulation. Figure 15 is the top level. Figure 16 is the model of the buck converter in state-space form. Figure 17 is the model of the non-linear controller logic. Figure 18 is switching function model for the non-linear controller logic.
